This book is peak Firefly. So much lore was revealed from Earth-That-Was to the Hands of Blue.

Possibly the most worthwhile firefly book as it adds some much needed universe building and with a fun adventure to boot.

So thrilling and exciting. In this book you get a better understanding of what happened to River and what the Hands of Blue were up to.

After reading the first three, authored by Lovegrove, I was hoping for something more than a redone version of an already filmed episode.
Lebbon absolutely delivers!
The tension within the story is felt - even in spite of knowing our beloved Serenity crew would survive (we’ve all seen the movie, no spoilers here).
There had been something off in the way the characters were portrayed in the previous novels, but I couldn’t pinpoint what it was. In this one (with the exception of missing “Captain” and “Sir” coming from Zoe and Kaylee when addressing Mal) I felt as if I were reading a script and could easily visualize the episode being played out before me.
The antagonist(s) were a great nod to a plot line from the TV series that I think all true Browncoats would appreciate and be grateful that we got more of!
I love to collect books, especially having full series, but after the disappointments from Lovegrove, I will probably do a library check of any of his Firefly novels released after this point, but I will happily buy Lebbon’s Firefly novels sight unseen!
